Let us know your opinion of the Lyman Turret. My favorite press is the Ultramag. I don't find the side bars to be an issue. The press design requires the side bars that adds significant strength...

I hope it applies price pressure to the Forster product. I owned a Co-Ax. I didn't think it was a great press. I like the ones on my bench now better than the Co-Ax.

What? No discussion of annealing or spring back?

I used to own one. It was a well built press but I could never warm up to the backward cant. I sold it.

Have to wait for it to get to the retailers for better pricing.

To cam or not to cam ... that is the question.
I do very little pistol ammo, automatic or revolver.
I make a lot of rifle ammo. Let's focus on resizing brass.
I have compared presses with...

CW or blue horse - did you do any runout measurements with ammo loaded on the different presses? I'm curious about the press too. I have two Redding Ultramags on my bench that I absolutely love and...

Glad you fixed your problem.
You should expand your "lessons learned" to include ... A L L ... the Hornady dies and purge them from your bench.
I've not had good luck with Hornady dies and have...

Hmmmmm. I might have to look into one of those. No more messing around with lube. Straight from the die to the trimmer.

On some of the older rifles the inside bore required a .311 diameter bullet. 308 came later and there are more guns chambered for .308 than older cartridges like the .303 British that required .311...

Interesting thread. Like others, I have many die sets but have yet to encounter the issues described by the OP. No problems to date that would cause me to dig deeper. I have seen differences in my...

I have two Lee Classic Turret presses. Love them. One is on the main bench. The other I take to the range for load development. Simple matter of swapping out turrets between presses when...

A lot of head turning early on but things seem to have gone silent. Anyone care to express an opinion?

Thanks for the well wishes. The heat will take a bit of getting used to. New house has two HVAC units and they work great.

Moved out of New Yorkistan and ended up in Azle, TX, a bit west of Ft. Worth. Whole ordeal of selling, buying, moving took almost 3 months. We're up to our eyeballs in empty boxes and packing...

I removed the #9 lead shot from two 12-gage shotshells and put it in a shot glass. I put powdered graphite over the shot and plunge the case neck into the lead shot a few times. Lubes the case neck...

This may sound funny but I used some Hoppes, a green scotch brite pad and a lot of elbow grease on an old set of iron horse shoes. Cleaned them up nicely.
Thanks for sharing.

That's my guess too, not enough bell to start/accept the bullet.

Super job, I'm interested to know what you used too.

I like Lee but feel the same way about Hornady, won't have them on my bench. Too many bad experiences with their customer service.

Looks like a durable press. Congrats. Does the ram have a hole through the center for primer disposal?
